The Museum of Tolerance New York opened in 2003, as the educational arm of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, to build on the success of the Museum of Tolerance Los Angeles. The MOTNY challenges visitors to confront bigotry and racism and to understand the Holocaust in both historic and contemporary contexts. Through events and programs, interactive workshops, exhibits, and videos, individuals explore issues of prejudice, diversity, tolerance, and cooperation in the workplace schools and community.

Nearly 100,000 adults and adolescents have been trained in the Museum’s customized, professional development programs which include Tools for Tolerance®, Teaching Steps to Tolerance®, Task Force Against Hate, National Institute Against Hate Crimes, Tools for Tolerance for Teens® and Bridging the Gap.
